The Rose Boy peels away his tough exterior to expose his weakness ...
for the ladies. He tantalizes and teases the audience by revealing his
chiselled body bit by bit in a sinfully seductive striptease.
Next, a deep male voice from the rear of the stage asks, "Who wants some
roses?" The Rose Boy struts on stage and starts stripping to a brassy jazz
tune. Bikini-clad female dancers surround Rose Boy as he strips and tosses
roses to ladies in the audience. The extraordinary physique of the Rose Boy
is contrasted by the absolutely ordinary appearance of the next performer.
The original name for the act was "Castroses" when Alex Castro originated
the role. It changed to the more generic "The Rose Boy" after he left. It
is currently known as "Magnum", however, in that version the dancer is a
007-esque special agent.
